Key highlights:

The authors propose a high-order adaptive-rank implicit integrator that leverages extended Krylov subspaces to efficiently and adaptively populate low-rank solution bases. This allows for accurate representation of solutions with significantly reduced computational costs.
An efficient mechanism for residual evaluation and an adaptive rank-seeking strategy are introduced, which optimize the low-rank settings based on a comparison between the residual size and the local truncation errors of the time-stepping discretization.
The approach is demonstrated on the challenging LBFP nonlinear equation, which describes collisional processes in a fully ionized plasma. The preservation of the equilibrium state is achieved through the Chang-Cooper discretization, and strict conservation of mass, momentum, and energy is ensured via a Locally Macroscopic Conservative (LoMaC) procedure.
Implicit adaptive-rank integrators are developed up to third-order temporal accuracy via diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta (DIRK) schemes, showcasing superior performance in terms of accuracy, computational efficiency, equilibrium preservation, and conservation of macroscopic moments.

How can the proposed adaptive-rank implicit integrator be extended to handle more complex nonlinear terms in the Fokker-Planck equation, beyond the Lenard-Bernstein model

The proposed adaptive-rank implicit integrator can be extended to handle more complex nonlinear terms in the Fokker-Planck equation by incorporating higher-order terms in the discretization process. One approach could be to introduce additional terms in the differential equations that capture more intricate physical phenomena, such as non-local interactions, external forces, or coupling with other systems. These additional terms would require modifications in the construction of the differentiation matrices and the computation of the coefficients for the implicit integrator. By adapting the algorithm to account for these complexities, the integrator can effectively handle a wider range of nonlinearities present in more advanced Fokker-Planck models.

What are the potential limitations of the LoMaC approach in preserving higher-order moments, and how could it be further improved

The LoMaC approach, while effective in correcting the loss of mass, momentum, and energy conservation in the computed solutions, may have limitations in preserving higher-order moments accurately. One potential limitation is the assumption of linearity in the correction process, which may not capture the full complexity of the moment conservation requirements in highly nonlinear systems. To improve the LoMaC approach for preserving higher-order moments, one could consider incorporating more sophisticated correction techniques that account for the nonlinearity of the system. This could involve developing adaptive correction strategies that dynamically adjust the correction based on the evolving solution and the specific conservation properties of the system.

What other types of high-dimensional time-dependent problems could benefit from the adaptive-rank implicit integration framework presented in this work

The adaptive-rank implicit integration framework presented in this work can benefit a wide range of high-dimensional time-dependent problems beyond the Fokker-Planck equation. Some potential applications include:

Fluid Dynamics: Problems involving complex fluid flow dynamics, such as turbulent flows or multiphase flows, could benefit from the adaptive-rank integrator to efficiently handle the high-dimensional nature of the governing equations.
Chemical Kinetics: Systems with intricate chemical reaction networks and species interactions could utilize the adaptive-rank framework to accurately capture the time evolution of species concentrations and reaction rates.
Climate Modeling: Climate models with multiple interacting components, such as the atmosphere, oceans, and land surface, could leverage the adaptive-rank integrator to improve computational efficiency while maintaining accuracy in simulating complex climate processes.
Biological Systems: Time-dependent models of biological systems, including population dynamics, cellular processes, and neural networks, could benefit from the adaptive-rank approach to handle the high-dimensional nature of the systems and preserve key biological conservation laws.
